Today I am looking at betrayal trauma and the work of Jennifer Freyd PhD. 

What is betrayal trauma? 

And why is betrayal the key element that makes an experience become traumatic especially in childhood? 

I read some of the words of Joy Schaverien PhD and Nick Duffell from his book Wounded Leaders.

 They talk about how for some boarding school is a betrayal. 

So if it is a betrayal is it then a trauma? 

Some exploration of betrayal trauma and the journal article: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/0886260511421672 Any thoughts or reflections please do let me know. 

Warm regards, Piers
